Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000
Microsoft® BizTalk™ Server 2000 provides the infrastructure
and tools that enable document interchange. It provides the
platform for application integration using a loosely coupled
message-based paradigm. By taking advantage of XML schemas,
BizTalk Server 2000 enables organizations to easily and
reliably conduct business online. BizTalk Server 2000
facilitates integration by allowing disparate systems to
communicate - ERP to ERP, e-commerce to ERP, ERP to legacy
system, e-commerce to legacy system, suppliers to supplier,
customer to vendor, and so on - because all data is converted
into XML.
The foundation of BizTalk Server 2000 is its rules-enabled
document delivery, transformation, and tracking
infrastructure. Business processes and trading relationships
are graphically defined, automating data exchange. The
graphical document transformation tools allow business
documents exchange between applications with different data
formats. This reduces the amount of human interaction with the
data as well as the number of associated errors.
Product components include trading-partner management,
document mapping and translation, document routing and
delivery, data extraction and storage for analysis, enabling
traditional processes to become e-business processes.
